1. The Nature of This Service
Mount Vernon Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public record indexes, official offices, and historic collections relevant to Mount Vernon, New York. It is not connected with a government office, court, library, or records custodian and does not host government records.
2. Acceptable Use Rules
Use the service only for lawful purposes. Do not use it or any result to:
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person.
- Locate someone protected by a restraining or protective order.
- Commit fraud or identity theft.
- Make FCRA-regulated credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions.
- Scrape, republish at scale, or interfere with the service.
3. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
The service is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing here, and no linked result, is a consumer report or may be used for an FCRA-covered eligibility decision.
4. Third-Party Links
Government portals, historical repositories, and sponsored search providers have their own rules, costs, privacy practices, and availability. We do not control those external services or warrant their results.
5. No Warranty
The service is provided as available and without warranties. Links, office procedures, record coverage, fees, and digitization status can change. Confirm every important point with the custodian before relying on it.
6. Liability Limits
To the maximum extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from use of the service or an outside resource.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators from claims, demands, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from misuse of the service or violation of these terms.
8. Intellectual Property
Original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Links and brief attributed quotations are welcome. Full-page republication or systematic copying is not authorized.
9. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after a revision means acceptance of the revision.
10. Restricting Access
We may suspend or restrict access when a user violates these terms, abuses the service, or threatens its security, without prior notice.
11. New York Law
New York law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. New York’s Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, governs public-access requests to relevant agencies; it does not make this private service a records custodian.
